Como’s confidence initially overwhelmed a sluggish Milan, with Marc-Oliver Kempf heading home Martin Baturina’s cross for an early lead. The hosts dominated yet squandered chances; Lucas Da Cunha missed wildly, while Mike Maignan produced miraculous saves to deny Nico Paz and Anastasios Douvikas. Against the run of play, Milan equalized before halftime through Christopher Nkunku’s penalty after Kempf fouled Adrien Rabiot.

Despite Maignan frustrating Paz again after the break, the Rossoneri showcased ruthless killer instinct. Rabiot became the match-winner, first converting Rafael Leão’s exquisite pass, then silencing the stunned home crowd with a spectacular 25-yard strike. Although Paz struck the woodwork, Como could not recover. This hard-fought 3-1 victory keeps Massimiliano Allegri’s side second in Serie A, ending Cesc Fabregas’ impressive unbeaten home record. Ultimately, while the Lariani played with heart, Milan’s clinical finishing and goalkeeping brilliance secured three vital points ahead of their upcoming fixture against Lecce on Sunday.
